I actually don't mind, but I'm pretty sure 343 will shut it down, soon.

you are terribly misinformed :) it really already is shut down because they do not update it but halo 3 just like halo 2 will not be shut down by 343 or bungie but by microsoft when they shut the xbox 360 down all together which wont be for a long time

I honestly don't know how people think that Halo 3 will be 'shut down'. Just because it's an old game doesn't mean it's going to get taken off xbox live. The 360 is the current-gen console, and until it is replaced by the next-gen console, no games will be shut down.
Halo 2 was taken off xbox live because the original xbox was out of date, it had been replaced by the 360.

I don't know why people can't grasp this. The idea that it will be shut down when the console is still current is just stupid.

yet your dumb for saying "you people" in a response to the OP, who is a low level but can still state his opinion, even if it is a dumb one.

halo 3 will not be shut down, get over it. it is a stupid rumor people create over and over again

I changed usernames to match my gamertag. My original account, wambo114, was created when I got xbox live. I'm a 2007 kid really!

can't you still play Call of Duty: 2 on xbox live? how long has that been out for?

it's not the game that gets taken offline, it's the console.

Halo 3 is not being shut down.

It won't be shut down until Xbox 360 servers are shut down.

That stereotype doesn't even make sense. So you're saying that 50s in Halo 3 are intelligent, yet people who aren't must be dumb?

What's the point of even going to university for a degree when people can just put '50 in Halo 3' on their resumes? They should get any job they want with that credential.

It's true.

The only excuse for not having a 50 is like a missing limb/finger.

You can have atrocious individual skill, but still get 50s via simply being a team player.

If you can call out, time out weapons, and learn to push as a team, you can easily get a 50.

Those are all things that can be taught, and leaned with relative ease.

Those who cannot learn these simple things are just stupid.

Did it occur to you that some people may not care about learning the weapon spawn times and using good teamwork?
Some people ( a lot, in fact ) that play Halo 3 don't care about getting a 50.
I honestly feel sorry for you, because you think that a rank in a videogame is something to brag about, anyone who isn't a 50 is inferior to you, not just in the game but in real life? It's quite sad.

Look at Bill Gates. He has actually admitted to being rubbish at Halo, yet he is one of the richest men in the world and much more intelligent than you will ever be. There are millions more that probably have never even played Halo, and if they did they would probably be terrible at it, but they are successful, they run businesses, they are famous, they make a difference, whatever. And yet you sit at home moving your thumbs around on a plastic controller and then claim that it is actually relevant to the life you live when your 360 is turned off.

Being good at a game means nothing, and the day you start to think it does is the day you should stop playing games and do a serious life check. Because that day is when you really hit the bottom of the dirtpile.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

Yes. I call those people failures. It's human nature to want to win, and those who don't, are a troubled minority who will never amount to anything in life.

I know, but for most people of moderate intelligence, it just sort of happpens.

Everyone who isn't a 50 is inferior to me, though.

Link me. Then link me his profile. I'm talking about kids that play this game daily that still aren't 50s. They're just stupid.

Hypothetical situations with no way to prove either way are always a good thing to bring into discussions.

Hypothetically, i disagree. Anyone with moderate intelligence that puts some time into a game this simple will eventually excel.

I agree. Being bad at this game, however, means you're stupid.

Please, just stop. Stop while I still have a shred of hope that you can actually achieve something in life.

It's okay. You can continue to play this game, going nowhere with your life and keep kidding yourself that are actually making something of yourself. In the meantime, the people who actually understand what is important and what isn't will be out getting the most out of the short amount of time they have.

I hope you are trolling. If you're not, I really feel sorry for you, and I'm not trying to be a dick either. I really do take pity on you.

You're obviously quite immature, you think your opinion is right and you won't budge. Your little world is Halo. I guess you don't really do well at real life? No job, or maybe a part-time stacking shelves. No social life. Bullied in high school perhaps? The only thing you were really any good at was videogames, so you convinced yourself that if you were good at a game you were better than other people in the real world, to try and prove your self-worth?
Whatever. But if your mindset is that good Halo players are superior to bad Halo players in the real world, then I wish you the best of luck in life, because with that much naivety you're going to need it.
Good Halo players ARE superior to bad Halo players- in the game. Other than that, there is no relation between it and real life.

I am willing to bet that a lot of professional sports players are terrible at videogames, and always will be. Yet they are fitter, have better reflexes, have hot girlfriends, are much tougher and are living the dream. They couldn't give less of a f *ck about some kid who thinks he is better than them at life based solely on the fact that he is good at Halo.

Do you realise how twisted your views actually are?
Again, you are probably only good at videogames so you have convinced yourself that they actually mean something, and use them as a way to put yourself on, and above, the level of other people you are actually jealous of.

You'll probably deny it, but I think I'm right. And I'm not a psychologist, but I have a good understanding of how people think.
But then again, I'm not a 50 in Halo 3 so I guess I'm automatically dumb.

Good luck with your life. Hopefully you will actually make something of it instead of wasting it all by taking games too seriously.

So um... Guys.. Reach and Halo 3 are on the same server, you know that? You shut one down, you shut the other down... If Halo 3 was gonna be shut down, it would be posted under a section called Reach Maintenance more than likely..
